Description: It’s been over a decade since Volkswagen announced its intention to build a one-liter car - an automobile that would use less than one liter of fuel to travel 100 kilometers. The challenge resulted i...

Donovan YbanezFeb 22, 2013Hmmm. I wouldn't mind removing the rear wheel covers and consider buying one even if I lose 20 mpg in the process. Would still be nice on the wallet. Props to Audi on the acheivement.

Jackson MichaelFeb 21, 2013What the hell is Jesse's problem he's being a dick but not making any sense at the same time

Jesse AndersenFeb 21, 2013Dustin must've saw me coming with the next sentence. This car is gaaaaaaaaaaaaay. While that's cool and all it looks lame, it's weak and no one who likes cars would like to drive one of these. Karl Benz is rollin in the grave right now.

Nodnarb YdilFeb 21, 2013Yeah, I would love a car like this. But they will probably ask for 30-40k for it. If not more.

Dustin SchoenithFeb 21, 2013They should be proud of themselves. I want one. Be warned, btw, there are a lot of ignorant people and comments to follow

Phillip B JongFeb 21, 2013Make it look good so that people actually buy it. Sure its an accomplishment, but split windows, covered wheels, and a back end that looks like a massive sad face? Let's get real.

Logan BartnickFeb 21, 2013This looks exactly like the futuristic cars in old 70's- 80's movies. It still looks better than a Prius though.

Jason BrownFeb 22, 2013Just checked the C&D article i remembered reading, they estimate around $50,000 per. Not sure how they came up with that number considering the extensive use of carbon fiber in and out of the car...

Jason BrownFeb 22, 2013Another thing, have you ever driven a Prius in snow on a slightly sloped hill with standard tires? It just can't make it up, you have to get special tires which significantly reduce the fuel efficiency, I wouldn't doubt this car to be the same.

Jason BrownFeb 22, 2013So if you are thinking by the time this car makes it to full production, what are the true savings? Or at what point can you break even? At this point in time, this car wouldn't make sense.

Jason BrownFeb 22, 2013Chris, that's a good thought. But you have to factor the stricter EPA laws coming soon and cars need to be more fuel efficient than that. In addition the US will pass Saudi and Russia for Oil production soon so that might reduce the cost of petroleum

Corey Alan KelleyFeb 21, 2013Uuuh I think there are trucks that do 0-60 in 12.7 seconds lol it's not like crazy slow

Curtis DouganFeb 21, 2013Shut up Matt, it's a ultra economic vehicle not a veyron ss. 12.7 is better than I thought it would be considering it was originally supposed to be around 60 seconds

Matt PiccoloFeb 21, 20130-60 in 12.7? I don't care how fuel efficient it is, that's unacceptable. We're not in the 80's vw, this is 2013

Sam ReinselFeb 21, 2013It wasn't VW that said that, i believe it was some Chinese Newspaper, and VW kinda said "yeah... that'd be cool but there's no way to do that" :/

Christopher LikeaBoss ReberFeb 21, 2013Any word on pricing for these yet? I think a couple years ago when VW first mentioned the idea, the wanted to be able to sell it for less than $1000.

Sam ReinselFeb 21, 2013Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for. If they car make, say, a 100mpg Jett's or golf based on this tech, I'd be sold.

Trevor BrownFeb 21, 2013The difference is that instead of going 260 mph, this gets 260 mpg. It's still an incredibly innovative vehicle, and some of the tech could soon trickle down to make Jettas and Golfs more efficient.

Trevor BrownFeb 21, 2013I think this thing's pretty damn cool, like a supercar built for efficiency instead of performance. It's a unique looking low production vehicle made out of carbon fiber, with the lowest drag coefficient of any car ever built.

Joe PaulFeb 22, 2013Notice the flux capacitor where a rear window should be. With that said, who really needs rear windows when everything on the road will be passing your ultra low drag enviro car. Enviro car was just overtaken by that snail and his slug buddy. The slug actually flicked the driver of enviro car off. Nice job slug.

Daniel EadsFeb 21, 2013They actually make make Eco cars ugly so they will grab your attention. The uglier they are the better they sell. The people who buy them want others to know they are saving the planet.

Malachi MonteiroFeb 21, 2013I don't give two shits how ugly it is, if a lot of people buy them (use less gas) more for us and our sports/super/hyper cars.

Matt PiccoloFeb 21, 2013Why is it that when hybrid tech is incorporated into a vehicle, automakers assume that means the car has to b ugly? Volt... Prius.... Insight.... Leaf.... This.... Even hybrid versions of normal cars. Sonata hybrid, etc.

Trevor BrownFeb 23, 2013No these are butterfly doors, they're also on McLarens... I think Aston calls theirs Swan doors or something like that

Wyatt GordonFeb 22, 2013Daniel, actually butterfly doors are what Aston has, where they open normally but slightly upwards.

Joe PaulFeb 22, 2013Ok, all you negative enviro haters need to get on board with how this beast will save the planet. Wow is it stupidly ugly. Aztec designers smiling, that their place of shame is being taken.

John-Michael CunliffeFeb 22, 2013They make it aerodynamic as possible to save fuel etc then put big heavy doors like that on ?

Daniel EadsFeb 21, 2013Actually their butterfly doors, and if the production version has them it will be awesome!
